More Spring

In the last week goslings have appeared following their parents around. Small schools of fry are flowing around in the lake. Winged ants have taken off and all kinds of wildflowers are coming up in the woods. We planted several planters on our porch over the last two weekends for our third story garden. Our cherry tree is past peak and is dropping its pink petals now; our clematis vine from last year has sprouted back out. The kids and I have also planted snapdragons, morning glories, marigolds, maypops, tomatoes, "wildflower mix", gourds, sunflowers, carrots, and an angel trumpet (that's a new one for me). Also, both the kids went fishing last Thursday with A back to the same herring spot in Neustadt on the Baltic. It was much less crowded than last time.











They had better luck than some of the Germans!
